List of Totally Spies! characters

The French and Canadian animated television series Totally Spies! follows the adventures of three Beverly Hills teenage girls – Sam, Clover, and Alex – who work as secret agents on missions to save the world while keeping their identity a secret from their peers. Supporting the girls is their employer Jerry of the World Organization Of Human Protection (WOOHP). The show has spawned a variety of characters including students from their high school and university, fellow WOOHP agents, and a cast of villains, many of whom have returned in later episodes.

The show's conception came from the rise of girl band and female singers in the music industry. Wanting to capitalize on the niche, David Michel and Vincent Chalvon-Demersay put their idea into development, which later shifted into production within a year. According to Michel, the series' animation style was intended to incorporate anime influences.[1] The production company, Marathon Media, intended on building on the series brand by forming a three-piece girl band, utilizing German talk show Arabella to create it. Using a panel of judges, 20 demo videos were selected and the winners were selected based on the strength of their performance and the show's viewers. The band was selected and released a single in the spring of 2002, through EMI. According to managing director Dirk Fabarius, "The plan is to eventually create an entire album and establish and promote Totally Spies as a real band."[2]

In an interview with WorldScreen.com, Michel said that prior to his show, there were a lot of boy action-adventure shows and practically nothing for girls, yet in pop culture, there was Britney Spears and Spice Girls. He said that the characters are heavily inspired by the movie Clueless and wanted to mix that with a James Bond format. When they first pitched the show, it had a moderate response, but when the first season was broadcast, the Charlie's Angels film came out, and suddenly the market was full of girl show properties.[3]

Sam has long red hair and emerald green eyes; she dons a green catsuit on missions. She is the most intellectual of the three girls, described by her Télétoon and film profiles as rational, logical and mature, like a big sister.[4][5] She thinks up plans and diversions so that the girls can defeat the villains, stop their heinous plots and escape from their deadly traps.[b][4] Although she is fairly serious during her missions, she loves to hang out with her friends, enjoying shopping, and visiting salons. She is not as boy crazy as the other girls, she has fallen for a few in the series, but without much success.[c] One of the running gags is that she is often brainwashed along with the other victims of the episode. In the "W.O.W" episode, it is revealed that she comes from a lineage of warrior women called the Sisterhood.[d] Her last name is not mentioned in her profiles, however, in "Do You Believe in Magic?", where she is undercover as a reporter, she introduces herself as Samantha Simpson,[e] and her teachers have referred to her as Samantha.[f] She is voiced by Jennifer Hale in the English version and by Claire Guyot in the French version.[6] In an interview regarding Sam's development in the first three seasons, Hale described Sam as "smart and adventurous, but now you see more of her wacky side and her girly side as well."[7]

Clover has short blonde hair and blue eyes; she dons a red catsuit on missions. Of the three girls, she is the most expressive with the Beverly Hills teenage fashionista attitude,[4] with a strong valspeak dialect,[8] being the first to court the newest available good-looking boy,[b] concerning herself with the latest clothes, diets, and trends, and often competing against Mandy in all sorts of popularity contests. Her Télétoon profile describes her as athletic, agile, strong, and especially impulsive, reacting spontaneously and jumping into action; and ready to teach the bad guys a lesson even if she has no chance of winning.[4] Clover is voiced by Andrea Baker (who was credited as Andrea Taylor for the first two seasons) in the English dub, and by Fily Keita in the French version.[6] In an interview, Baker described that Clover has a thing for musicians, likes to get pampered, and is all into fashion. She likes that the girls have fun and kick butt.[9]

Alex has short black hair, dark skin and light brown eyes; she dons a yellow catsuit on missions.[note 1][10] She values her friendship with Sam and Clover the most and will do anything to keep their team together and happy. She is described in the Télétoon profile as the best friend character, affectionate and not afraid to show her feelings.[4][10] She enjoys sports and athletics[10] but also shares her friends' fashion interests, sometimes even to the same extremes as Clover. She is the most naive and absent-minded of the three, sometimes interpreting figures of speech too literally.[g][h] In the episode "Do You Believe In Magic", it is revealed Alex is the youngest of the three girls (and Clover the oldest).[e][10] In the "Aliens" episode, she is the only girl of the three who had yet to pass her driving test,[i] and her driving ability becomes a running gag in some episodes.[j][b] She is sometimes a bit awkward and sensitive, losing confidence as shown in the episode "Alex Quits" where she had not only botched some missions with her clumsiness but also bombs a supposedly easy science quiz.[k] In the boy band episode where she is not invited to Mandy's party, she ponders getting a tattoo in order to look cool.[l] Starting with season 3, Alex reveals interests in Taekwondo,[m]skateboarding,[n][10]soccer[10] and video games.[11] In Totally Spies! The Movie, she adopts a baby pig whom she names Oinky (French: Groin Groin),[12] and who becomes a recurring character in season 6.

Alex is voiced by Katie Leigh for the first two seasons and by Katie Griffin in the following seasons for the English dub. In voicing Alex, Griffin used a higher vocal register than usual. She was worried about nodules developing, and being recast when the series returned for season 6 following a hiatus, but was happy when she could return. She found the part to be really fun, easy to play, and liked that Alex was so lovely to animals.[13] She is voiced by Céline Mauge in the French dub.[6][14]

The founder and chief administrator of WOOHP, the World Organization Of Human Protection,[15] Jerry is a middle-aged, very serious, British gentleman who briefs the girls on their missions, and provides their various gadgets. He usually summons the girls by some sort or trap door or portal, and sends them off in a similar manner. During the missions, he helps the girls look up information on the various people and their businesses, as well as provide analysis results of items the girls send over. His movie profile notes that he cares a lot for the girls and acts like a second father to them.[15] Although he has a mostly hands-off role, Jerry has participated in some of the girls' missions, having been a former spy himself. Despite his thin and non-athletic appearance, he has demonstrated combat and spy skills, including running down the side of a building in "A Spy Is Born Part 2".[o] On a few occasions Jerry has personally saved the girls. Despite being the leader of a top spy organization, Jerry has been subverted on occasion such as in episode "The Yuck Factor" where a microscopic doctor takes over his body.[p] In the episode "Totally Switched", it is revealed that his last name is Lewis.[q]

Some of Jerry's enemies have come from his friends and family. In the episode "Forward to the Past", Jerry befriends a guy named Boogie Gus in the 1970s who uses Jerry's time machine invention to steal technology and gadgets from the future in order to take over the world in the past.[r] He is brainwashed into falling in love and marrying former WOOHP employee Myrna Beesbottom in the episode "Evil Valentine's Day"[s] His evil twin brother Terence and his sister Sherry (introduced in The Amazing Spiez!) have been revealed to be villains attempting to take over WOOHP. In the feature film, his assistant tried to get rid of the spies so he could hog all the glory. In a season 6, his former girlfriend Bertha Bombshell was an episodic villain, and in the season 5 finale "Totally Dunzo", his mother is infected by evil DNA and takes over WOOHP.[t]

Jerry was voiced by Jess Harnell for seasons 1–2 and then by Adrian Truss for seasons 3–6 in the English dub.[16] In the French version, Jerry has been voiced by Jean-Claude Donda.

Mandy is the girls' primary antagonist for the non-spy adventures at Beverly Hills High. She has long black hair and violet eyes, with a beauty mark under her left eye. Her profile on the feature film website describes her as THE popular girl, brown, cute, very rich, and hyper-fashionable. However, she is the spies' worst nightmare – a pest that does everything to ridicule.[17] She has a high, squeaky voice with a nasal laugh. Her rivalry with Clover is most pronounced, as they often compete over boys, popularity, and bragging rights. Mandy will go out of her way to annoy the girls and will even use dishonest means in order to do it.[u] She is the "queen bee" of her M.I.G. (Mandy Is Great) fan club, which is made up of all boys (and Clover).[d][17] In the first four seasons, she is accompanied by her crony friends Dominique and Caitlin who have attitudes like her.[17] In season 3, when the spies move into their villa, Mandy ends up becoming their next-door neighbor. In season 5, following high school graduation, she was slated to enroll at a ski school in Aspen, however, she stays in Malibu to attend college there with her cousin Mindy where they live in the same dorm as the girls.[v] In season 6 she employs an intern named Trent.[w]

Despite frequently interacting with Clover and the girls, she is not aware that they are spies. In turn, the girls put up with Mandy's shenanigans and try to protect or rescue her when she is in serious danger from the real villains.[c][x] The first time she learns about their work is when she declares Sam her best friend because Sam had saved her hair when it was caught in a pottery wheel, and follows her to the locales of her spy activities. However, she gets her memory erased following the situation.[y] In the episode "Evil Coffee Shop Much?", when she follows the girls as they are WOOHP'ed to their headquarters, Jerry is so impressed that he makes her a WOOHP spy for the duration, where she wears a purple uniform. However, she has a bad experience, and wants to quit, forgetting it ever happened.[z] Some of the season 4 episodes have her in a villain role, such as: "Futureshock!" where she is the top media celebrity in an alternative future and tries to "Mandify" everyone[aa] and "Attack of the 50 Ft. Mandy" where she transforms into a giant and captures the other girls.[ab] In the multi-episode season finale "Totally Busted", she, Caitlin and Dominique are infected by a chemical called SUDS and become spy hunters or "spy-'ssassins".[ac] The one time she shows remorse in the series is the multi-episode season 5 finale "Totally Dunzo", where her life flashes before her eyes and she realizes she has been a horrible person. She then starts treating the girls nicer, but this is again short-lived when she learns they kept their spy identity a secret from her.[t] In season 6, whenever she learns the girls are spies, she gets her memory erased at the end of the episode.[w]

In the English dub, Mandy has been voiced by Jennifer Hale, who also voiced Sam. In an interview where she was asked about her impressions of Sam and Mandy, Hale said that she enjoyed voicing such opposite characters: "I love spy/action stuff and it always rocks when I get to be one of those characters. Plus I get to be a total snot, which is fun too."[7] In the French dub, Mandy is voiced by Céline Mauge, who also voiced Alex.[14]

Gadget Lending And Distribution Interactive System (G.L.A.D.I.S.) is Jerry's new personal assistant that is introduced as a main character in season 3. Michel describes her as a "robot with a SERIOUS attitude".[16] She takes the form of an assembly line with a bunch of robotic arms that can outfit the girls with the gadgets. Although Jerry created her, she often expresses her own attitude, picking out gadgets on her own and disobeying Jerry's orders.[m] At the end of the "Space Much?" episode, she is given the task of watching over the girls, where she uses cameras and even locks down the house.[ad]

She plays an episodic villain role in "Evil G.L.A.D.I.S. Much", where it is revealed that her artificial intelligence was downloaded from an evil mastermind called the Brain. Although her initial download did not contain any evil, she is corrupted when Alex splashes cranberry juice on her, causing her to capture the girls and to carry out Brain's plans to launch WOOHP missiles at various countries to start a world war. She is eventually contained and downloaded back to normal.[ae] Following her disapproval by the show's fans, G.L.A.D.I.S. was written off the show in season 5,[18] where she is sent to a recycling facility.[af] G.L.A.D.I.S. is voiced by Stevie Vallance.[19]

Arnold Jackson is a classmate who shows up in the side stories at Beverly Hills High; he is portrayed as a nerd with glasses who has helped out the girls on the condition that they go on a date with him. In the series opener, he successfully campaigns for Clover to win a popularity contest, and gets to date her for a day, and in "A Spy Is Born" double-episode, he asks Sam out as a secret admirer with the initials "A.J."[o] Despite being turned down "a few, uh, hundred times" by Clover,[ag] he is still attracted to her, and works on her publicity campaign in "Super Agent Much?";[ah] he is also a member of Mandy's fan club.[d] He has often participated in school events including the Halloween costume contest,[ai] Most Charitable Teen contest,[aj] local raves,[ak] student president elections,[ag] and the head cheerleader contest, the last of which he beats Mandy and Clover.[al]

Arnold serves as the episodic villain In "Super Nerd Much?", where he acquires a magic ring that allows him to steal the "coolness" from other people, turning them into nerds, and making himself cool and more agile in the process. The power quickly gets to his head and he hatches a scheme to steal all the coolness out of Beverly Hills, but following his defeat, his memory is wiped of the incident, leaving him to believe it was just a dream.[ag] In the episode "Arnold the Great", he is inspired to dress as comic book superhero Admiral Admirable. After he is discouraged by the spy girls, he is tricked into allying with Geraldine Husk, who gives him a utility belt that gives him superhero powers, but Geraldine manipulates him into believing the girls are his enemies.[am] His final appearance was in the season 5 opener, "Evil Graduation" where, as class valedictorian, he tells the class off with a "Goodbye and good riddance!"[an] Arnold has been voiced by different guys, including Rob Tinkler,[ag]Jess Harnell and Joshua Seth.[citation needed]

However, he is captured by the girls, and realizes that Clover is working for the good side after all.[ap]He goes on a mission to find his boss, which turns out to be Geraldine Husk.

She quickly befriends Clover when she says that she is the captain of her high school's cheerleading squad, and Sam when she says she loves playing chess; however, her introduction to WOOHP and her immediate competence and leadership as an agent makes Alex jealous. Following the completion of the mission, Jerry announces that she has completed her training, and deploys her to another branch.[k] She reappears in the season 3 episode "Escape from WOOHP Island" where she is forced on land on a prisoner's island, but is rescued by the girls as they team up again to re-capture the villains.

David."[1] When asked about why David did not return in the third season, Michel said, "David never was a recurring character. He was present in a few season II episodes so we didn't have to justify his not being in our stories any more. But we have realized how important he is to the fans, and decided to have him back in season 4."[16]

He first appears in "The New Jerry" episode, where he kidnaps Jerry and replaces him at WOOHP, going under the alias "Mac Smit", and giving the girls an assignment but sabotaging their vehicles. He is later revealed to be a former WOOHP weapons technician who developed a heat-ray capable of evaporating the Earth's oceans, and who seeks revenge on the organization.[bw] In "Mommies Dearest" he attempts to get revenge on the girls by mind-controlling their mothers and using them to kill the girls.[g] In "Morphing is so 1987" Tim attempts to destroy WOOHP using "liquid-metal" robots capable of mimicking the appearance of others.[bx] He reappears in season 4 as a member of LAMOS.[bv]

Terence is Jerry's evil twin brother and the primary arch-nemesis starting in the multiple-episode season 3 finale, "Evil Promotion Much?". In that episode, he facilitates the training for the girls so that they can become super spies. At first, Terence appeared to be an easy-going, relaxed administrator, but soon turns against them. His underlying motive is that he was betrayed by his brother when they were copying each other's answers during an exam. He then had his face and voice surgically altered.[ay] In Season 4, he creates an organization called League Aiming to Menace and Overthrow Spies (L.A.M.O.S.), made up of WOOHP villains from previous episodes. During their first meeting, he discovers the silliness of the acronym, but as he had already purchased merchandise with the brand, he keeps it as is.[bv] He wears a white curly wig and runs the group from a leaky submarine where they serve as recurring villains for several episodes. He also makes an appearance in episode "Scary Jerry" on the spinoff show The Amazing Spiez!. Terence is voiced by Pete Capella.[citation needed]

Violet Vanderfleet is a botanist who appears in "Evil Bouquets Are So Passe". She develops a hybrid of poisonous plants that are able to move on their own and knock out their targets with sleeping gas. In the episode, she delivers the plants to all the guys who have dumped her, and plans to use the flowers to destroy all of the men in the world and to stand up for all the heartbroken girls. She is eventually stopped when one of the plants catches a strand of her hair and attacks her, putting her to sleep until WOOHP arrests her and undoes the effects with an antidote.[by] She returns in the episode "Baddies on a Blimp" where she, Manny Wong and Yves Mont Blanc are accidentally released and take over the WOOHP blimp.[as]

Willard is a scientist first appearing in the season 2 episode "Alex Quits". He despises anything that moves too quickly, recalling remarks from his past such as not getting a raise because of working too slow, or not making the track team because of running too slow. After years of failed cloning research, he develops a ray gun that slows down the molecules of its targets, putting them in a state of slow motion.[k] In the season 3 episode "Escape from WOOHP Island", he orchestrates an escape attempt of WOOHP prisoners by employing a different ray gun to bring down Britney's plane, and then disguises himself as her in order to kill the spies and take their plane. However, the spies unmask him, forcing him to attack directly. Although he dislikes speed, his martial arts technique is quick, although not as fast as Britney's.[au] Following "WOOHP Island", he has appeared as a background character in episodes involving WOOHP prisoners. Willard has been voiced by Dee Baker.[22] and Jamie Watson.[au]
